You save the money and spend it on a car?

My experience is different. If I go for grocery once a week I buy a lot of stuff which rots or expires. If I buy it daily I just buy what I need, and what I want that day.

Yes thatā€™s how it works. You save some money and spend it in other shit.

Also I donā€™t have a car just so I can go get groceries. I have a car for a multitude of other reasons and I can get groceries. Driving 5 mins to a supermarket has an insignificant cost, and if that supermarket is cheaper then you can save multiples of that.

Regarding the stuff expiring, thatā€™s just your experience. I have the opposite. Thereā€™s plenty of non perishable shit that I can get when itā€™s on sale because I can carry a ton of it if I came by car. Meanwhile if I go shopping by foot and I need laundry detergent Iā€™ll just have to get whatever they have at that time. You can save a ton of money like that.

For easily perishable food yes buying regularly is better but that also means a ton of wasted time going to the supermarket very frequently even if to get only a few items.
